Made it much more difficult to keep any of these guys around when the AFL cut the rookie list in one go.
No Day?
Really surprised that they did not swap Day with Casboult.Malcolm Rosas and Levi Casboult (Gold Coast)
“With Malcolm Rosas, they’ve told him to have a look if he wants, but I think he would prefer to stay at the Gold Coast Suns, he’s contracted for next year.
“With Levi Casboult, they’ve told him to wait to see what happens until after the trade period.
“That just depends on who else the Gold Coast Suns can bring in.”

Its odd they delist a bloke that played afl games this year (some of them pretty good) over someone that is more out of favour and older.Really surprised that they did not swap Day with Casboult dealings.
Exactly. Casboult looked spent when he played while Day played actually quite well. Puzzling for me. But good to keep Casboult for emergency.Its odd they delist a bloke that played afl games this year (some of them pretty good) over someone that is more out of favour and older.
Levi prob should have retired and had Day be the one to wait post trade (maybe rookie him)
That's what I always thought. Spread his contract like Swallow and others.Also sounds like Secco got an extra year. Potentially happen a while back
Now we can't get rid of them, what a strange position to be in.What a turnaround from the early days where we were a revolving door of players leaving. Even the guys we tell to sod off don’t want to anymore. Probably because they are all overpaid still, but the point still stands.

Sounds to me like it's been badly reported on with Rosas and Luko.Malcolm Rosas and Levi Casboult (Gold Coast)

I reckon you are spot on.Sounds to me like it's been badly reported on with Rosas and Luko.
Sounds like 'explore your options' really meant that they both had problems with either selection or expectations this season and the club has basically said 'you can test the market and if you think it's going to be easier elsewhere we can try and facilitate something' but neither player actually WANTS to leave.
I would much rather keep Rosas if we can. He's really the only genuine small forward that looks threatening around goal that we have on our list.
PS. if we hold 6 I hope we bid on Kako.

It is understood that the Suns are set to table Andrew a deal in excess of eight years worth over $1 million per season.
It is understood despite the lure of strong family ties in Melbourne, Andrew is happy at the Suns and has a desire to build a life for himself on the Gold Coast long-term, something the Suns are happy to accommodate.
Andrew enjoys playing under coach Damien Hardwick and believes the club is headed in the right direction despite a disappointing finish to the 2024 season.
“Now with ‘Dimma’ it feels like a whole new club, I feel like everyone’s a lot more connected, he’s made the club a much more open space,” Andrew said of the Suns to this masthead in July.
“I feel like I’m connecting with the staff a lot. You need to have that connection with everyone in the football club to challenge for premierships and build sustained success.
“Now over the past couple of years you see player retention and players wanting to stay … I know I want to stay and play under him (Damien Hardwick) for the rest of my career.
“I’m loving it up here (on the Gold Coast), I really enjoy it, you can’t complain, it’s good weather all year. I’ve made a home up here for myself and have a good crew that I hang out with everyday.”
With the CBA and the salary cap only going up in the future, this is an absolute steal of a contract8 years at just over a million a season apparently. And the comments associated sounds like he’s pretty keen to sign it. In one of the social groups on FB someone has posted snippets of the article
GOLD Coast is open to trading forward Jack Lukosius, with football boss Wayne Campbell saying the Suns are aware the South Australian has spoken to other clubs and is happy for it to continue.
Lukosius still has two years remaining on his contract after signing a four-year extension in 2022, but both parties are exploring their options.
Campbell told AFL.com.au it was an important time in the 24-year-old's career where he needed to make some "big decisions".
"We know he's spoken to some other clubs and we're aware of that and happy for that to happen," Campbell said.
"If he wants to progress his career here, we're happy for that. If he wants to have a look at another club, we're OK with that too.
"Ultimately, he might end up here, and if that was the case, we'd be more than happy."
"Systems can change and so can players," he said. We can change our system or Jack changes the way he plays. Those scenarios were put to Jack as well." – Michael Whiting
